If are a data scientist and come from python take a look at nimpy, a great way to just import python libraries and use them! https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy Numpy, pandas, pytorch all usable in Nim.
Nim is the ultimate glue language, use libraries from anything: python, c, js, objc.
One unusual hurdle for Nim right now is that on Windows, many of the anti-virus vendors out there are overly aggressive in flagging as bad any executable that was written in nim [1].
Don't know if they've made much headway lately, but for awhile even the main installer was getting flagged, as well as tools like choosenim.
See e.g. https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/17820
